This is a lovely and evocative image that has the power to transport viewers to another realm. The flare frames the connection between the little girls perfectly.

What a beautiful image of a child making her own wildcard portrait of young girls walking hand-in-hand holding heart balloons. Give her another ten years and she might be entering the contest too. I like to think photography chooses us as a partner with it on a long journey on an endless train with many stations. We travel as far as we choose and share our memories as best we can. This image is another treasure along the way - a recorded moment, a memory that is as much felt as seen.
